thankyou Ruth.,Thatwas very interesting.
JIM I had awhole section of amessage cut off.Peter Kennedy should have dealt with his source singers more and wuith more honesty.
I know from your posts that you Had problems with him,and that so did other collectors.
I get the Impression that he was unecessarily competetitve and litigious,with other collectors.
I also get the impression,and please correct me if I am wrong,that he enjoyed a cordial relationship with AlanLomax,does anyone know how he got on with Sean OBoyle with whom he collaborated.
Jim,every single book, record, that was either recorded or collected BY Kennedy,which is in my own possession,was purchased before I knew anything detrimental about him,there is little sense,and it would acheive nothing,if I were not to use the items.
the musical traditions article sums up Kennedy fairly,he had good points and bad,life is not black and white.
